I hate this one challenge in gtaV online rn. Gotta visit the gun van, 10 days, in a row. That last parts killing it for me.
I managed to get 6 days in a row, but by 7, I just didn’t wanna play or missed a day, and now I’m back to 2 again 😭

Why’s it gotta be in a row lmao

[austere lance]

That's...interesting @winter yew

[winter yew]

It is indeed

[fathom sluice]

"It costs 7,000 dollar's to fire this weapon.. For 5 seconds.

the actual price aswell

[winter yew]

Irl money?

[fathom sluice]

..luckily not

imagine though

thats some fallout 76 shit right there

but 7,000 is ALOT, usually if your really lucky you can get 10,000 worth of loot on a mission

but usually 5 shots to your body and your dead

do you know forever winter?

[mental rose]

I'm surprised it took as long as it did.

[dry copper]

It costs $30 to fire a modified M16 for 5 seconds assuming full auto with rounds costing 40 cents a bullet.

[fathom sluice]

..ingame

the gun fires 50 cal

Idk why its so expensive but yea

i'm talking ingame

[dry copper]

50 cal bullets in GTA5 aren't even close to that expensive.

[fathom sluice]

its a forever winter lore thing

[obtuse reef]

I’m sorry, a .50cal assault rifle? That’s begging for trouble in the form of shoulder and wrist injuries

[dry copper]

Ooooooh

That explains the price

Making bullets in the apocalypse is expensive af

[fathom sluice]

50 cal is so common that they had to up the price

Yea

especially when giant fucking mechs walk around with railguns the size of a 2 story house

[obtuse reef]

I think irl .50 BMG rounds are about $3 a round

[dry copper]

I gotta play that game one of these days

[fathom sluice]

this is a small mech..

that thing next to it is a cyborg

i once got hit by its gun in crossfire

instantly died.

[dry copper]

Even at that price, that is still only $45 for 5 seconds.

[obtuse reef]

Okay, with the context of this being Forever Winter, the .50cal AR doesn’t sound like that bad of an idea

[fathom sluice]

Its hella fun too, but they modifications are hard to find

i always know how many hits i can take, and how mutch loot i have to bring back to pay for the next trip

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, I’d imagine you’d get spread out over a sixty mile radius if you got directly hit by that thing

[fathom sluice]

Yea.. i also like how you can "deploy" a 20mm turret from your backpack

Like a fucking lego set

[obtuse reef]

I’m also familiar with the corpse tanks, which is a cool as hell concept

[dry copper]

and you carry a cargo backpack big enough to carry a fridge, but you're constantly struggling for space

[mellow dune]

I mean they exist

[fathom sluice]

the idea is just raw as fuck

[obtuse reef]

Really disturbing, but cool as hell

[mellow dune]

You can get a .50 Beowulf AR-15

irl

[fathom sluice]

like raw in the good way

[obtuse reef]

You can buy a drum mag for a Barrett

[fathom sluice]

The gun is actually based on a real thing

Imagine breaking into a mfers home and he pulls this from his pillow

i can imagine if you dunno how to fire that, that scope's going straight into your eye

[obtuse reef]

I’m not sure that’d be a good home defense weapon, especially because it’ll probably do as much damage to your home as it would the guy you’re shooting at (probably more if your aim is bad, which it likely would be if you were just woken up by a home intruder in the middle of the night)

[fathom sluice]

..big boom

im not that good with weapons since here in the netherlands, guns and knives are illegal

so sorry if i say something stupid and uneducated

[mellow dune]

Could be worse

Could be 5.7x28mm

[obtuse reef]

I mean even in the good ole US of A most people would consider that overkill compared to grandpa’s 12 gauge

[mellow dune]

At that point it would be cheaper to hand over your money than shoot him

Fun fact, 5.7x28mm has bonus damage against poor people

[fathom sluice]

my friend once said "Move back as far as you can, i'm gonna try to blow this mech up with my grenade launcher" so i backed up like across the map, heard a boom and saw that he died, instantly got sniped from across the map and died

[dry copper]

Even bigger bonus against babies

[mellow dune]

Damn I need to explain the joke?

[obtuse reef]

See, .22LR is the funniest cartridge because the only thing going for it is that you can have a lot of it

[obtuse reef]

Ain’t that a Russian Badger reference?

[fathom sluice]

google, deploy the clorine gass

[mellow dune]

Yea

The joke regarding 5.7x28 having bonus damage against poor people is because it costs so much to buy

[dry copper]

That's a debuff

[mellow dune]

It's one of the most expensive calibres that civilians can own

[inland oasis]

being poor is the debuff

[fathom sluice]

my friend once showed me something called a "rosethorn round", do you know what it does?

it makes a spiral in your body thats impossible to fully close

[mellow dune]

Oh uh

Holopoints

Those are funny

[fathom sluice]

damn

[mellow dune]

Bullet impacts you, the barbs bend outwards and turn your insides into shredded meat

[obtuse reef]

My favorite fictional caliber is whatever one the Pacifier from Helldivers uses. Like, yeah, sure thing. This round can put down car sized insects with knives for arms, but it’s nonlethal (trust us guys)

[mellow dune]

My favourite round is a rifle round

[mental rose]

"9mm kills the body, but 45acp kills the soul. You do not want them to come back as a Lich"

[mellow dune]

20x110mm Hispano

Fired from the Denel NTW-20

It will turn any human sized target into a fine red mist

[fathom sluice]

honestly, this is more entertaining then just waiting for the steam summer sale to start today

i'm learning stuff :)

[mental rose]

😁 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J50N5lQoAFw

[mellow dune]

That thing is funny

Even though 22LR is fucking useless in self defence

Well..wouldn't say useless

But

9 mil is right there

[obtuse reef]

Yup. I believe it was originally intended as a less-than-lethal way to disperse crowds, because I think people thought that 22 was safer somehow

[fathom sluice]

Me and my friend once had a shotgun ingame that we lovingly called "the wristbreaker" and it basically looked like this

[obtuse reef]

Ah, but you see, you can’t pack comical amounts of it into a gun

You also can’t silence it to the point that the sound of the gun cycling is louder than the gunshot

[mellow dune]

Fun fact

A 12 gauge can chamber a .50BMG round but

You don't really wanna fire it

[fathom sluice]

what about 700 nitro

:3

[inland oasis]

only if youre brave

the 4 bore

[mellow dune]

I mean at that point just use .300BLK

[obtuse reef]

Behold: the true wristsnapper 9000

Honestly if I was to own any weapon from any nation

I want a Groza

[tranquil glen]

That dont do shit and are tiny af, i mean a real pistol

[inland oasis]

battlefields kalibre

[tranquil glen]

Tbf battlefield literally has fingerguns

[inland oasis]

the kalibre. xD

[obtuse reef]

If I could own any gun, it’d be the double barrel bolt action elephant gun

[mellow dune]

KOLIBRI MENTIONED

Hello based department

[inland oasis]

like 3 dmg per shot xD

[mellow dune]

My favourite weapon in BF1 was the healing syringe

It would 1 shot enemies

[inland oasis]

heal em to death

[tranquil glen]

I wish fingergun was in 2042 ngl

[mental rose]

Is that the gun from STALKER?

[inland oasis]

doesnt battlefield also have the derringer in one of em?

[obtuse reef]

The only thing I really remember about 2042 was using the guy with the riot shield to run up to people and give em a good bonking

Because for some goddamn reason that one tapped people

[tranquil glen]

And not grndpas sniping?

[mental rose]

Oh yes it is. 😄

That GL makes it look so silly

[obtuse reef]

You think I have the skill to even breathe near a sniper rifle?

[tranquil glen]

[inland oasis]

im sorry that thing is so ugly xD

[tranquil glen]

No i literally mean Grndpa Snipping

[obtuse reef]

Ah, no I don’t recall ever encountering that

[obtuse reef]

That gun reminds me, the MP5 from Half-Life (yes, the one with the underbarrel GL) actually exists in real life

[mental rose]

Another fun fact; it was meant for law enforcement, not military.

[tranquil glen]

Funny they changed its across the two

Hl1 was a version of m4/16 with underbarrel gl, and then 2 was mp5 gl

[inland oasis]

mp5 with a gl is such a wild combo

[mental rose]

Yep!

[inland oasis]

even tho the mp5 in it looks like an mp7 imo

or mp9

[mental rose]

The M4 was from the HD-texture pack that you could install to base HL if you bought Opposing Force

[inland oasis]

https://tenor.com/view/mp9-firing-airsoft-gif-25933421

[mental rose]

Or was it Blue Shift...

[inland oasis]

thats what i see with the half life smg

[tranquil glen]

Not my point for what texture it is, point being it wasnt an smg

For hl1

[inland oasis]

good thing i wasnt talking bout your point xD

they just completely misname the gun is what always gets me xD

[tranquil glen]

Then no reason to ping reply

[inland oasis]

i didnt?

[tranquil glen]

I dont know 3/4

Alexios was dropped of a cliff, bayak knew his family till he killed one by distraction

For my fellow N++ players

(No one will ever get it, it’s borderline impossible)

Only like 4 people ever have done it I think

[worldly ivy]

na i still play them for the memories lol

[pure zinc]

I unironically play animal crossing

That games like

Idk

[worldly ivy]

I still play Dc online 😭😭

[pure zinc]

Prolly lower rated than that tho

[pure zinc]

4+

[tranquil glen]

Most games ik

Didnt know cut rope was mobile app

[pure zinc]

Well start knowin more games yo

[tranquil glen]

Dont shit on me for not doing more games theres no reason for it

[pure zinc]

I’m not shitting on u

That’s gross

[obtuse reef]

Relatively recently, I started playing DS3 and I must say, I am quite enjoying it

[pure zinc]

I still have yet to 100% that one

[obtuse reef]

I especially like exploring and seeing what secrets there are to find

[pure zinc]

Still trying to 100% ds2 first

[pure zinc]

They have many of those ^^

[obtuse reef]

see, I tried DS2 but I'm playing on PC and it just wasn't ported that well

[obtuse reef]

I noticed

[pure zinc]

Wdym?

I don’t notice a difference between the pc port or console version

[obtuse reef]

It just felt less polished

[pure zinc]

Wait

Which version do you have?

[obtuse reef]

It could be due to my inexperience with the Souls series

[pure zinc]

That could be why

There’s multiple versions of ds2

[tranquil glen]

iwas about to ask how u have ds3 already if 2 already came out, wrong ds lol

[pure zinc]

Scholar of the first sin is the full ds2 pc experience

[obtuse reef]

Yeah, I have that one

[pure zinc]

1:1 to console Im pretty sure

The other ones don’t have the dlc or the updates with it

You have to get them separate

[obtuse reef]

It is also a little annoying that all the control popups are for controller, but you know what, I don't mind it

I've gotten used to it

[pure zinc]

It’s better with controller anyway

[obtuse reef]

I figured, but I am absolute dogshit with controller

[pure zinc]

It’s a learning curve for sure

But

It could be worse

[obtuse reef]

keyboard is pretty janky at times, but overall it's not as bad as it could be

[pure zinc]

You could be like a cod player going from kb&m to controller

[pure zinc]

You literally have to relearn how to aim

In a game where aim is key

😭

[obtuse reef]

I'm not hopeless with a controller, but keyboard just gives me a level of precision that I appreciate

[pure zinc]

Ye

I feel it

That precision isn’t needed in dark souls tho

Ur not aiming at anything

You got a lock on that does it for u

[obtuse reef]

the lock on is a little annoying at times though

the camera can act weirdly

but with spears it's a necessity

[pure zinc]

Yea it can

I won’t deny that

Lock on gets better with each entry tho

I refuse to use it in 1

[obtuse reef]

I can imagine

[pure zinc]

Because ds1 doesn’t have Omni roll

[obtuse reef]

my biggest gripe about keyboard is that the kick attack is bound to W+M1, meaning if you try to attack while moving, you'll instead do a useless kick that doesn't stagger most enemies

[pure zinc]

Why

Is that even a thing

lol

[obtuse reef]

dunno

[pure zinc]

The kick is pretty much useless

[obtuse reef]

It does stagger human sized enemies

[pure zinc]

Yes

[obtuse reef]

but you're better off just attacking them

[pure zinc]

Yes

lol

Or kick them off a ledge

[tranquil glen]

fuck wrong one

[pure zinc]

Is it as good as it looks?

I'm currently in the process of trying to level up my character's strenght to 30 so I can use the bigass beating stick

[winter yew]

Yea

[pure zinc]

I might have to drop some money on it

[pure zinc]

I love the greatest swords

But my recent playthroughs have been purely pyroknight builds lol

So I end up using a long sword instead

[obtuse reef]

nah man, I'm going for Vordt's Great-Hammer (which is really a mace but I think that may have been a translation error)

[pure zinc]

Oh

I think I know which one ur talking about

Like the morning star kinda?

[obtuse reef]

this thing

although currently I'm using a +3 Lothric Knight Sword

hits like a damn freight train

[pure zinc]

Looks like one too 😭

[obtuse reef]

the knight sword or the Great-Hammer?

[pure zinc]

The hammer

[obtuse reef]

but the sword is also really goddamn good, especially for how early you can get it

[pure zinc]

Ye

I love the whole lothric knight set tbh

[obtuse reef]

It's pretty heavy though, I don't use it for that reason

[pure zinc]

I combine it with the starting armor

For knight

To add the cape and what not

[obtuse reef]

I'm currently using the fallen knight set

[pure zinc]

I use that for my pyreknight build ^^

Especially once you’re full ashen too, it looks sick for that kind of vibe

Burning cloak

Hand of fire

[obtuse reef]

the most magic I've used is the heal-aid, which I don't use anymore because I just have more estus flask uses

[pure zinc]

Fair

[obtuse reef]

while it's probably pretty damn good, my build is more of a "guy with sword and a deathwish"

[pure zinc]

I use pyromancy cos it looks cool

Not cos it’s effective

[sleek wren]

Waited a month thinking fantasy life would go on sale. It's the only game on my wishlist that's not on summer sale and that's the only game i WANT to buy. TT

Going to have to wait another few months for the next sale

https://tenor.com/view/disappointment-disappointment-sigh-sigh-sad-regret-gif-17688444

[mental rose]

Well there's your issue, it came out a month ago. Sales never have new games and if they do, it's only 10% or smth.

It'll probably get a discount during winter sale at earliest

[sleek wren]

I should've bought it on release cuz I think it was 10% off. I thought oh the summer sale is around the corner it might go to 15-20%.

I was short on money during that time didn't buy it and now I'm regretting it

[sleek wren]

Yeah but it's so many months away.

[mental rose]

Aye, games sometimes do launch discounts

[sleek wren]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-the-office-sad-steve-carrel-gif-6504535541019570333

[mental rose]

Game going on sale 1-2 months after launch is an indicator it's not selling well and the publisher is trying to boost it. 😄
More common with AAA

[sleek wren]

Yeah well the game is a massive success

[austere lance]

Explain the logic of being able to put non-lethal mods on chainswords in Cyberpunk, lol. I just found it out and it's fuckin hysterical to use in a fight 🤣

[sleek wren]

Didn't think that such a niche game would sell so well

[sleek wren]

Who doesn't want to brutally cut someone but not kill them

[mental rose]

You can? I thought it was restricted to blunt weapons. 🤨

Well I suppose you can bonk enemies with the back-end of the blade

[mental rose]

Exactly

[barren sparrow]

Non-lethal chainswords?

But... that's heresy!!!

for 3$ yea its good. lmao. but the story isnt why you should play. moreso just if u like the loot n shoot loop. also, imo alot of the side quests are better written even than the main one.

I've played both games since they were on Gamepass

I've never cried so hard over an ending

Since Metro Exodus

[primal loom]

I haven't played Will of the Wisps yet 👀

May change that soon though 👀👀👀

[mellow dune]

Definitely play it

[charred badge]

Only annoyance is that it has Link's Awakening syndrome

Ori 1, all abilities are always accessible.
Ori 2, a lot of traversal abilities are also combat abilities, and only 4 can be equipped at once

[worldly ivy]

I loved that gsme

[tranquil glen]

on the smallest servers without buffs its less than 10s

i didnt even know Ori got a second

[mellow dune]

Yesn't

Only 1 traverse ability in Ori 2 can be used in Combat in any capacity

[pliant iris]

Huh

[mellow dune]

And well..that ability also existed in Ori 1

That being the fabled bash

I like Ori 2 because the weapons are unique and not just "press 1 button to do generic attack"

[tranquil glen]

Bow, grapple, hammer,???

It's been a while, but I was swapping a ton

[mellow dune]

Weapons

• Sword
• Hammer
• Bow
• Spear
• Fireball

[charred badge]

Right, so bow, hammer, and sword are needed for basic traversal/obstacle clearing. Was grapple still its own button?

Point was that swapping out made it a bit less smooth than Ori 1's system

[mellow dune]

Yea grapple was Jr's own thing

Its

Thank you Auto correct

[charred badge]

Especially if you're not the best and need to use heal

[mellow dune]

I mean you could honestly do bosses just fine with Bow + Sword + Heal

[charred badge]

It got a lot simpler when locked in on combat. It was traversal that was more clunky

[mellow dune]

I liked it, especially willows end

[charred badge]

Ori 1 traversal is complete zen, you know?

[mellow dune]

The Sandworm escape was clunky though

Had to chain bash jumps into burrows

And the timing is scuffed

Along with the hitbox for burrow

KEEP IN MIND I have the AI setting basically on stupid mode. but for those who tweak enough, i can imagine that you could have an extremely immersive experience. ive been hooked on this game now for its "tarkov'y" Feel, but being only PVE/Co-op Multiplayer. probably one of the best 13.50$ extraction shooter games ive played.

issues ive had so far: Audio is sometimes very deceiving in directionality. Cant use game chat after dying. (personal gripe) and i wish the matchmaking had a little bit better of a system implemented.

like, its practically a tarkov clone 😄 lmao

[dry copper]

That's just engagement bait

Youtube is trying to save itself from being unwatchable during the holiday weekend

Idk what the drama is but I dislike the vibes pirate software gives off, idk what it is but there's something there.

[hot sluice]

Is this incursion red river by chance?

Nvm it has mp w/ vc, I thought it was incursion red river

[hot sluice]

MrBeast is also awful which I felt he would be because he seemed too good to be true but I was once treat like I hated him because he was "helping" people.

[inland oasis]

yea, it is incursion red river

which has MP co-op, and txtchat, idk about voice

[inland oasis]

https://medal.tv/games/incursion-red-river/clips/kAcYgtmto35_oqc4H?invite=cr-MSxqNUYsMTY4MzE4NDcx

Lovely start 😄

[hot sluice]

Yeah I know about the audio issue, they're working on it apparently.

Minus incursion red river, quasimorph and some other ones there aren't many single player extraction shooters which is a bit weird.

or even just mp pve ones

[inland oasis]

Yea tbh it’s not really all audio, it’s footsteps, and voice lines specifically in my experience. Sometimes it’ll sound like they’re yelling right next to you when there in the building next to you nearby lol

Bullet whiz bys, impacts, etc, all seem in the right place for me

[hot sluice]

They know about it at least which is good

[dry copper]

I refuse to believe that Jimmy is as bad as clicky rage baiters want to make him out to be. The guy has the resources, the means, the initiative and the connections to make his money help people in creative ways. He's also way more hands on than he should be with the projects he's involved in.

Where he fails to most often is properly managing people when he's required to deal with many - and people come with their own agendas and motivations.

[hot sluice]

I don't trust rich people inherently sorry

He always seems fake

It feels very performative to me and always has.

[dry copper]

There are tons of people in social media who are also helping people but don't have nearly the initiative to take on tasks as difficult.

sean mcloughlin does charity events

Mark Fischbach does both charity events and partners with other creatives to pool their talents and create new content

Saying I don't trust rich people is a misnomer. You might as well be saying, "I don't trust humans"

Jimmy wasn't raised rich. His parents served in the military and he moved around a lot. If he isn't trustworthy now, he never was.

[dry copper]

It's a youtube show. Of course it's performative. He's using the platform to serve an ends that the platform was designed to do. It's not Maury povich. There's a reason he's not the one that tells people bad news.

Unless they're social media influencers that he's torturing for clicks.

Then he's always the one.

[hot sluice]

I for the most part don't given the horrendous state of the planet so

Also by sean mcloughlin and mark fischbach you mean I assume markiplier and jacksepticeye, two people who afaik don't give me very weird vibes of being fake people

My stance ain't ever gonna change on the guy, he genuinely gives off very strange vibes as if everything is entirely an act to hide something

I'm a 100% vibes based person now due to past things where me not being able to sense vibes screwed me over.

[dry copper]

Tons of shitty people give off good vibes. They're called sociopaths. They're a cornerstone of social media these days.

Then you have the psychopaths who feel nothing and give off nothing: Pretending their way through life...and the reality is that we don't get to choose who lives and who dies, who succeeds and who fails - and that's probably a good thing.

I'm not trying to change your mind. You can believe what ever you want to. Just know there are consequences to acting on vibes and entitlements as much as there are any decision making process - Whether you accept them or not.

"Detecting vibes" does not abstain you from being called out on blind prejudices.

[mental rose]

Then it's a good thing I don't watch ANY of the mainstream youtubers

[dry copper]

Fuck the mainstream. The rapids are funner with the unknowns.

Though I'd laugh my sorry ass off if some poor shmuck started a " i paid my friend to lose weight " video series

[winter yew]

Don't sleep on drama channels they get clicks with true rage bait
Keyword is what they saying is true it's just heavily over exaggerated

Karl jobst got caught lying now he's a fake news channel it's the natural food chain

[inland oasis]

yea claiming that hes the fault of someone elses self demise, and portraying it as "hes suing me for calling him a cheater" WHICH HE WAS, but its the first claims (the self demise of someone being billy mitchells fault). if youd of asked me even to this day id think the lawsuit was about him being mad about being called a cheater. but thats what karl wanted us to think. now hes tryna play damage control

he misportrayed the whole lawsuit, under a light that favored him. got exposed, and now, like you said is a washed up channel overnight lol

i also love channels like Coffeezilla too

[winter yew]

He was lying about the compledtionist too but just minor things that didn't really matter

[inland oasis]

oh yea. forsure. i was mainly tryna put out the biggest ones of the downfall but true

i got clickbaited into watching it. i saw a clip of the judge saying "karls like trying to be some hero of the internet or shining knight" and i HAD to see why he said it

The drivetrain system uses axial flux motors originally developed by Yasa, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz AG. These motors offer approximately three times the power density of conventional radial flux motors while being two-thirds lighter and occupying one-third of the space. The motors will enter series production at Mercedes-AMG in 2026.

Ross made a video addressing some of the things PirateSoftwere said and how he misrepresented the whole thing, after that PirateSoftwere made some post or something, idk I don't really follow youtube dramas but algorithm gods showed me Ross' video the day it was posted

[orchid fox]

i respect em for not starting fights over it but i commend the last ditch effort as it has spiked by 300k xd

or close to

[barren sparrow]

possibly, but I also get that he didn't want to get Stop Killing Games involved with things like dramas, he wanted to make it in the way he saw as the right way. Unfortunately, like Ross said, it's hard to make people on the internet care

Imo: Negative opinions tend to spread much faster on the internet then any positive ones so

"Imo", thing I observed

[tranquil glen]

A good ol “fuck you” spreads faster than “I love you” does

Tho ig both of those tho complete opposites really arent as weighty as they used to he

[orchid fox]

its not reeally an observation as much as its a fact

[tranquil glen]

Like “fuck you”… “ok and?”

[orchid fox]

hate and contesting is more rabid than actual praise.

or actual consentual explainations online sadly

[tranquil glen]

Just gonna continue eating ma bananers

[orchid fox]

done my part as well

doubt we will win but its a last ditch effort CLEARLY a lot actually fucking pay attention now lol

[tranquil glen]

Is it 1m sigs?

[barren sparrow]

yeah

[orchid fox]

goal is 1mil

aye

[barren sparrow]

for EU initiative

[orchid fox]

so 300k left

spiked by 300k in like a week

lasty vid by mutahar hovered around 480 when he refreshed in vid

now 680

[tranquil glen]

So really a tenth of the swedish pop, even though thats not all gamers

[orchid fox]

another one to thors pile of shame @barren sparrow

and act man has pretty big reach lol

[tranquil glen]

Why the fuck is bf2 there tho

[barren sparrow]

oh yeah, I watched some of his videos. Has some pretty fun content

[orchid fox]

dont ask me beyond his good pointers his thumbnails is mega clickbaity

[tranquil glen]

i mean using that is literal clickbait background, cause bf2 has active servers and from what ik can be private hosted

[orchid fox]

also not even 4 days ago it was like 511k he refreshed in video as proof. @barren sparrow which ye seems ross' last ditch effort to make people fucking pay attention is working lol

even for non europeans

[orchid fox]

case and point lol

[barren sparrow]

Fingers Crossed then 🤞

There were different things happening involving EU consumer protection laws and some different things in games in the not so distant past. Maybe even if it doesn't get through it'll get someone there to look into the matter

[orchid fox]

at this point its more than likely

given eus pattern as a totality

[barren sparrow]

or maybe it wasn't about consumer protection, something about in-game currencies is what I remember more clearly but I don't remember what exactly the basis there were

[orchid fox]

transparent privcing being enforced by eu

shit like genshin etc HAS To give u the exchange rates

for pull worths

etc

in bold text

that one im well aware of

[orchid fox]

not even vague rates

they need to give exact currency per pull rate per pack

[tranquil glen]

thought this was playability, or is a plethora of things?

[orchid fox]

way more than i can list

[tranquil glen]

ah

kinda thought it was created with heavy take from crew2 fans

[orchid fox]

it started fromm a gacha game that now has the gaming industry conform as eu are done with their shit

and they have to comply or cannot be sold in eu

(ie the currency change)

stop killing games is about contingency plan on game death

as in either hand over it to community or leave at playable state

and not just kill outright

which we all know devs will not forsake without a fight

random side tangent

[tranquil glen]

yea welp now i know never to sell shit in EU

cause that applies to all devs not just the big ones who they want to affect

[mellow dune]

LMAO THORS FACE

I CANNOT

[tranquil glen]

oh wow guys Civ 7 is only $59.50

doom 2016 is $4

The monster game? I tried it for like 30 minutes, it's not my type of game

[split ridge]

fair enough, it doesn't seem like my kind of game either, I just saw people saying it's easy to complete lol
Looking at the game pass library and nothing seems appealing to me.

Let's start killing keycards though Nintendo still lame as hell for that

From what little ik i want to say he’d get caught in with it faster than Pewdie

Wonder if the schlattman will

Wasn’t gonna get one anyway

[tranquil glen]

Anyone else want a jraphics card?

[winter yew]

I suspect their only raising the price of the switch one because it's the better console technologically

Better battery life faster screen ect ect the tech reviews have existed for awhile

maybe worth contacting customer support in that case

[frigid yarrow]

please remind me to never ever fly a plane

game is wings of prey btw, very cheap in Steam rn, a game of it's time but still shiny as ever!

[dry copper]

I'm looking at the humble choice bundle this month. It doesn't even look worth $12

That is, I would not buy most of these games in any case.

They fixed it

If they're gunna have IGN+ on humble every month now, that's pretty nice.

Ah I see why I never used it last month

IGN requires payment information just to set up an account.

Here's a free month of our service. Give us your payment information so you can have a free month.
No...fuck you.

[orchid fox]

i mean they own the service i will not give the company a single fucking cent with how much i hate their paid reviews lol

regardless

the company directly*

example shin megami five like 4/10 or something reason given "not persona 5" DESPITE SHIN MEGAMI PREDATING PERSONA SERIES LOL

pokemon swsh 10/10

list goes on

of all game journos ign is like my most hated one regardless of its reach

[orchid fox]

i think this one was so badly received they legitemetly took it down lol

[balmy plaza]

Edge of Fate looks so terrible omg

[orchid fox]

its bungie

did u expect otherwise at this point

[balmy plaza]

The core feature of the paid content is 3 new versions of deepsight 💀

[orchid fox]

i lost faith since lightfall hype aside

[balmy plaza]

The final shape was great but other than that yeah they've been terrible for a few years

[orchid fox]

i bought lightfall didnt even start the expansion as right after i saw how shit it was via show highlighta nd went "fuck this to the bin burner u go

and mind u i have been around since year 3

i thought the sunsetting revoking would fix it

BUT NOPE THE REASON GIVEN OF REMOVING OLD CONTENT DUE TO CONSOLE FILE SIZE WAS THEM LYING OUT OF THEIR ASS

[balmy plaza]

Been playing since 2014 and I genuinely don't think they've shown off a less interesting content drop than edge of fate

[orchid fox]

WE ARE BACK TO SQUARE ONE BUNGO AND WORSE AT THAT lol

ps4 console sice over 100 gigabytes. who said that is an issue

[balmy plaza]

It's based on the Nine, too. And they're the coolest thing in the lore. So like wtf where's any semblance of flavour

[orchid fox]

ur dedciated playerbase will commit that regardless

lol

dont say players arent commited if anything to their fave game

IF U STOP BURNING TRUST EVERY 2 WEEKS

rant aside im getting tempered

i cease commenting on this lol

i was a diedhard fan in the past all things considered

[balmy plaza]

It's alright DW 😂

[orchid fox]

not saying for u but for the chat as a totality

[balmy plaza]

I was a fan up until the final shape, and I wish I stopped there

Because it was a great ending all things considered

[orchid fox]

hope u see what im on about here.

[dry copper]

I'm tempted to try Destiny 2...

I played it for an hour maybe....

[orchid fox]

owned it prior? if not DO NOT

[balmy plaza]

Yeah from day one it's been a roller coaster of the game being nearly dead, then it having some really great content

[dry copper]

It requires too much DLC at this point to make it worth buying

[orchid fox]

uh how do i paragraph this easier its way more than that

way way WAY FUCKING worse

[balmy plaza]

It's only really worth it for the gunplay now ngl. Even then, halo does similar stuff but better

[dry copper]

Division 2 isn't bad.

[balmy plaza]

If you want an action game to grind out to any degree warframe is a good bet

Consistently good and flavourful story too once you make some progress

[dry copper]

The only downside to Division 2 is the game being full of foreigners all speaking chinese and russian

[balmy plaza]

Second dream onwards is fantastic

[orchid fox]

as a non expansion ur only entitled overworld roaming no raids no dungeons no strikes no pvp no exotics for 6+ expansions some originally taken out of the game, events being paid (yes u PAY for the entitlement of event rewards 20 bucks, stopped giving holliday freebies), dungeons that used to be included IN expansion is paid at separate per dungeon paying keys for em years ago, eververse the satan that it is is where most game funding goes, a lot of weekly/monthly reoccuring things pay gated, u cant do pretty important modes without latest expansion, the strikes is gated behind specific stuff

i can go on about this at infinitum that went through this for years @dry copper

exotics cant drop without relevant liscense unless its from year 3 and prior which u have to buy via vendor grinding u ass out of a mode u cant access

i can and will go on

[dry copper]

Please don't...

[orchid fox]

the event and yearly seasonal rewards u earn nothing bar a new weapon for free

aight

[dry copper]

I wasn't even convincing myself to play it. It didn't take a spartan kick of destiny hate to discourage me.

[orchid fox]

ur basically worse than a trial without expansions lol

im not even hating on it just doing my grievance list

[dry copper]

https://tenor.com/view/kick-sparta-leonidas-fall-gif-8139307

[orchid fox]

sorry. mumbles.

ur permitted freeroam and thats about it sadly

[balmy plaza]

It's hilarious that I'd likely spend less on warframe than Destiny, considering one has been f2p mtx from the beginning

Genuinely gets less grindy too in some ways as you go on

[orchid fox]

in before u become a mf like me that has played for 11 years and spent more on warframe cosmetics than i have on destiny as totality.

not even making a joke

lol

[coarse swift]

Couldn't be me

[balmy plaza]

Tbf I can see how you could do it hahaha,

It's tempting

Overall though I think it makes it quite easy to earn stuff in the game

At least if you know what people what to trade

[orchid fox]

i admittedly have bought many plat packs full price tghan i dare to admit even more so trading myself to more shit than i can coun

[coarse swift]

Oh I've never done that

75% or go home

But I do have grandmaster founder

[balmy plaza]

I think the only thing I ever gave into buying because of the grind is the necramech

I kinda just view that as cost of entry for the big quest though

And I'm really interested in where the current story is going too

I hope we get another quest that big

I repeat i commend ross to not try start shit

You know what would be fucking sick....If Eve Online added ground combat.

Even if that shit were just like, incursions into ships or dungeons...

Also harmful opinions made a good point
"So u only spoke on it once? Is that so. Then explain the replies from Ross archive in video. U only addressed it in video explain the the lack of vods in this week interval that is null from ur daily streams. How are we to believe u didnt spew the most foul retoric for thousands when u have removed the vods" @dry copper

Check live panel theres a considerable null interval.

[dry copper]

I don't care enough to check. I was present for the live clown show. I don't need to spell check whether or not PirateSoftware is a dickhead.

I bought The Last of Us part 1 on steam this week.

I wish they'd deep discount TLOU2 so I could get that, too

Sweet discount
